Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I gained confidence and got to step outside of my comfort zone"
A student Middlebury College
"My experience was very worthwhile. I learned a lot and was exposed to many new things from my travels. The Study Tour Aspect was amazing, best part of the program."
A student Middlebury College
"The experience was definitely worthwhile. I gained a lot of confidence by living on my own and experience a new culture. I also gained a lot of memories I will cherish"
Kyle Meredith Middlebury College
"I learned about future career paths"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about Danish culture and education. As an educator and child rights activist, I will take what I learned and apply it wherever I go."
Alejandra I Escamilla Wellesley College
"I learned how to live by myself in a foreign country where I didn't know anyone. It was extremely liberating and sparked my interest in living abroad. I am so glad that I did it and will take all the skills I learned and experiences I had with me for the rest of my life."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned that sometimes you need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable because sometimes that is when your most profound experiences occur."
Francesca Dong Wellesley College
"The main take away was that I got to experience living on my own in Europe which was not easy at all and that I got to travel all over Europe."
Logan Wright Middlebury College
"Very worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more about myself and got to experience different cultures of different countries. It was very worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to function as an independent adult in a foreign city. Definitely worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained an international perspective on a country with a welfare state. "
A student Middlebury College
"great experience esp studying environmental studies"
A student Middlebury College
"Living with the local family is an eye-opening experience. Keep an open mind, or else it won't be a study abroad experience you've dreamt of."
So Jin Ki Wellesley College
"This was probably one of the most enlightening 4 months of my life. It was so worthwhile. DIS had a great balance of academics and free time for exploring. Often, courses took a culturally relevant approach, allowing me to experience my subject in a way I never could have imagined."
A student Wellesley College
"I spent a lot of my time focusing on my already existent friendships and boundaries with adults and other students. I think that time focusing was definitely worthwhile. I learned that I had strength within myself I didn't even know I had. "
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about Sweden through my host family and through my courses. It was really cool to learn about the fields I have chosen to study, through a Swedish lens. I loved my host family, I loved the friends I made (a lot of whom were also homestay students), and I loved Stockholm. This program was definitely worthwhile. "
Mariel Andrea Guzman Brandeis University
"I gained a lot of perspective on a unique culture that I previously knew nothing about. It was extremely worthwhile and I would recommend studying abroad to everyone."
Alexander DuMont Brandeis University
"Life skills, new ways of thinking about design, lifelong friends, and a bit of Danish!"
A student Wellesley College
"Stronger design skills, more confidence and independence, travel skills, to enjoy life more for what is happening presently around me. "
A student Middlebury College
"Didn't change my life. Danish culture is very similar to western culture and everyone speaks English, so it won't "change your life" or make you grow. It might, however, be the best time of your life. Program isn't rigorous so it's possible to travel every weekend and see Europe, but you won't feel any attachment to Denmark. Sta..."
A student Claremont McKenna College
"I learned how to be independent. That I really need meaning in my life, and part of that is because I lacked that in Denmark because I was having so much fun. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was very interesting and a culture shock. It was cool to compare and contrast lifestyles."
A student Brandeis University
"My time abroad allowed me to become more independent. This was the first time I had been abroad by myself and I was a little nervous for it. But as soon as I got there, I was greeted by DIS staff that was friendly and made the transition easy. "
